Well, I recently sold my little H-170 and am now actively trying to find a use Eclipse 21 .
I'm not sure when the Eclipse 21 was first manufactured, may be some one could provide me with that information.
Are there any known flaws in the Eclipse I should be aware of or to look for ?
Thanks,
Glenn
Glenn,
I think that the first Eclipse was produced in 2004. That is why a pre-owned Eclipse is hard to find. I purchased a new Eclipse (#39) in 2006 and I'm now enjoying my second season of sailing.
The Eclipse handles well in 10 to 15 knots and under reduced sail I feel comfortable up to 20-25 knots.
The one thing I don't care for is that the jib sheets get hung up on the Mastendr during tacks. Not all the time but enough to be irritating.
Good luck in your search. I know you will enjoy...

2004, thanks.
Your so right, finding a used one is difficult, especialy here on the west cost.
I did find a 2006 in another state that I made an offer on over the weekend, will see, a lot more money than what I want or have to spend. selling off my 1930 Ford Model "A" pick up and my little H-170. the 170 sold Friday so I'm committed to the Eclipse.
